Xia Xiaoyu's heart trembled violently. The dormitory was unusually quiet, and she didn't know how long it had been before she gradually calmed her thoughts.
The air was filled with a silent yet urgent feeling, and Xia Xiaoyu's mind was racing with thoughts. No matter what she did, she couldn't fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt as if there was an invisible person lying on her bed.
She could even clearly feel the cold air blowing on her neck. She tossed and turned until late into the night, counting sheep in her mind until she reached over eight thousand before finally feeling drowsy.
"Hide and Seek..."
A childish and eerie voice faintly drifted in, piercing through Xia Xiaoyu's ears. Just as she had entered a state of slumber, she suddenly jolted awake.
"Hide and Seek..."
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoyu's relaxed body tensed up again. She hurriedly looked toward the source of the sound and saw the little girl from the rooftop outside the balcony window, calling out to her with a chilling presence.
The cold moonlight illuminated the balcony, revealing a face that appeared pale and ghostly to Xia Xiaoyu. The little girl's smile seemed painted on—rigid and eerie.
"Hide: Seek..."
Seeing that Xia Xiaoyu remained still, the little girl climbed through the window, intending to come in from the balcony...
Xia Xiaoyu was horrified and abruptly jumped out of bed. She wanted to close the door before the little girl could enter, but it was too late; the little girl had already come in from the balcony...
Xia Xiaoyu didn't have time to think. She didn't know why, but the others in the dormitory couldn't hear anything and didn't wake up. However, deep down, she knew she had to leave this place.
When the dormitory door opened, a chilling atmosphere seeped out into the dim night. Xia Xiaoyu wanted to rush outside, but after just a few steps down the corridor, she stopped.
In front of her in the hallway stood a little boy with a strange smile and a terrifying expression, staring blankly at Xia Xiaoyu.
"Xia Xiaoyu... let's play hide and seek..."
He began to call out her name in a hauntingly eerie tone.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't understand how they knew her name, but she knew she had to get away—at least not see these things. She stepped back, but after retreating just two steps, she felt utterly hopeless...
A little girl emerged from the dormitory, wearing the same terrifying expression as the boy, leaving her with nowhere to escape...
"Play with me..."
The boy slowly approached with a forced smile.
"Don't come any closer! Go away..."
Xia Xiaoyu shouted, trying to back away, only to find that the little girl was also moving closer.
"Play with me..."
The little boy extended his pale, frightening small hand, approaching Xia Xiaoyu with a chilling, sharp voice.
"Go away..."
So close, the girl's instincts kicked in, and without thinking too much, Xia Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to grab the little boy's hand and shake it off.
However, when Xia Xiaoyu grabbed the little boy's hand and forcefully shook it off, she ended up pulling that small hand off completely.
The entire arm was torn off by Xia Xiaoyu...
"You broke my hand... you have to pay for it..."
But the little boy did not stop; he continued to extend his left hand and spoke ominously.
Xia Xiaoyu nearly collapsed to the ground, holding only a segment of the small hand in her grasp.
"My hand is broken, you have to compensate me. No, it's broken... compensate me..."
The little boy moved even closer and then swatted away the hand that Xia Xiaoyu was holding, speaking to her in a voice that was cold and piercing.
